Slavery was a huge theme in the bible. Of course, im sure you dont choose to read the passages that command slave masters to be generous in every way. The bible also commands the slaves to be obedient to their good masters. If everyone did as the bible instructed; slavery would not have turned into the ugly thing that it is known as today.
What?! The only thing that gives slavery a black eye is the ungodly manner in which it is practiced? Seriously? Other than that, so long as slave owners are sufficiently compassionate, you really don't see anything objectionable about one human being owning another and enforcing compliance with their godly demands? You have to be kidding. This is the kind of conclusion one can only reach if you begin by assuming some book or other is inerrant and from God. No right thinking person will follow you down this road.

Also, what must be understood is it teaches of the importance of service in life. The bible teaches not to be worried of "when your going to eat," but to be filled with the joy of god. The bible is saying that servants should submit, and be examples, ESPECIALLY the christian servants . The punishment is brief; and the gift of paradise is eternal.
You sir, or madam, are a moral imbecile and you have the bible and the sick, twisted way you interpret it to thank for your condition. Desperate sophistry is all you have to offer unless you heal yourself. Burn the bible and pray to god and everyone you've offended for forgiveness. That is the only way back to the humanity you've let languish so that you could become a zombie for christ. Repent!
Funny isn't it? So many xtians decry atheism because they fear the lack of an objective moral code, never suspecting how far they can go wrong by blindly following a bad one (or badly following a good one for that matter). The most essential value of xtianity is the golden rule yet this one thinks defending a literal interpretation of every page of the bible is more important. He may be a biblist but he is no follower of Christ, that is clear.
